For those that are making active income from real estate, there are also ways to shave some zeros off of your tax bill, such as a 1031 exchange.

Hi all,Last winter I had tenants that complained about their bathroom being too cold...it apparently got so bad that the toilet would freeze up and the only short term fix was using a space heater which they did not want to keep paying for on their electric bill...the bathroom has a large crawl space (20' x 10') directly underneath it...The following summer I decided to have the crawl space insulated with spray foam to help trap the heat that is coming from the Gas Boilers which I figured would be enough to keep the bathroom warm (also paired with their forced hot water heating that runs through the bathroom)...Fast forward to today and they are still having issues and complain about it...has anyone faced a similar issue with a crawl space that causes something like this?

It is common for people to use 1.5-2" closed cell foam insulation. 

Try to shave a little off.

CapEx is an easy target to shave, and folks who don't know much about how much it costs to run property, actually buy into the nonsense...This is why 50% is bull...haha

So we have an ROI of around 12.69% which if we shave 4 months off we will get a little boost due to time but it will not be all that meaningful.  

I can help you with the rattling noise.I would get some spray foam and fill the space with a can.

You can only make it fit if you shave the peg.  

Lois S. have you called the tenant to discuss this with them?
